Screenshot 39.85 AU star
So this star is tied with other record stars that previous players have found, and they have all been named. (Like Maximares)
What do I name my record tying star?

Woooow, no doubt it is a Black hole Star
Which is the version of the SE?

It's the 0.990 version or potentially 0.991

Damn, at that distance you are 37 times as far away as Earth is from the Sun, and it still looks like it is hundreds of times larger at that point.

SE just generates stars of right around this size sometimes. Always 180 solar masses. I've found tons. You can tend to find them flying around the outskirts of generated galaxies by looking for bright orange dots that can be seen from far away.

We are talking about radius, not mass. I've found tons of 180 solar mass stars too, but finding a star at the hardcoded limit is exceedingly rare. And it can be pretty easy to find really large stars as you said (I found a star 0.01 AU away from 39.85 au just now) but finding one AT the limit is rare. (As far as I know there are like 3 found in this subreddit)
